Russell Sivey Poet Tanka

A Christmas Wish

A fine fix we’re in
A real grumpy old grandpa
Children complaining
A house full of pure chaos
And none happy at this time

What will we do now
This year has come to an end
So very quickly
No one’s pleasantly moping
Everyone’s in displeasure

Just one Christmas wish
For a household of happiness
Joy for everyone
A wish of delightful laughs
Cozy warmth to each other

Just this simple wish
Is all I ask for this year
Not a possible task
For myself to do alone
I need Santa’s help for sure

After the blessing
I will offer what you will
A holiday toast
Thank you for your services
For granting my Christmas wish
